John McCracken: Works from 1963-2011
John McCracken occupies a singular position within the recent history of American art, as his work melds the restrained formal qualities of Minimalist sculpture with a distinctly West Coast sensibility expressed through color, form, and finish. He developed his early sculptural work while studying painting at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

John McCracken
The first complete catalogue on John McCrackens work. John McCracken (Berkeley, California, 1934) is an internationally famous American artist known principally for what he defines as blocks, slabs, columns, planks. Basic, beautiful forms, neutral forms. The starting point for such neutral forms is the minimalist object or primary structure such as the cube or plank. Made in plywood and then covered in fibreglass and polyester resin and lacquered in bold colours, the neutral forms transform into objects that knowingly bring together Minimal Art trends with the colours of the automobile industry and the idea of a mental and immaterial space. McCraken, famous mainly for these minimalist, spiritual, enigmatic, irresistibly beautiful sculptures and paintings was then a prominent artist on the international artistic scene in the 1970s for his Mandala cycle of paintings.

Politics, Christianity and Society in Malawi
With the death of John McCracken in 2017, Malawi lost a pre-eminent historian. This book celebrates McCracken’s contribution to the study of Malawi’s history and seeks to build on his legacy. Part of his genius was that he identified themes that hold the key to understanding the history of Malawi in its broader perspective. The authors contributing to this volume address these themes, assessing the progress of historiography and setting an agenda for the further advance of historical studies. The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and all who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Malawi’s past and present.
